Residents and commuters in Antigua and Barbuda are being notified of upcoming major overnight infrastructure upgrades along a key stretch of All Saints Road, set to take place in late May 2026. The Ministry of Works has confirmed that construction activity will be concentrated between the Belmont Clinic and Bellevue Service Station, requiring a full temporary detour for all through traffic from 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 28 through 7:00 am the following day.
Direction-specific routing rules have been outlined to keep traffic moving safely during the work window. For motorists traveling out of the main urban center, vehicles will continue along All Saints Road near the Belmont Clinic and Bellevue Heights Service Station to navigate past the work zone. Commuters heading into town, by contrast, will be required to make a left turn at the Bellevue Heights Service Station before rejoining the main All Saints Road route.
To prevent confusion and collisions, trained flag persons will be posted at key points along the detour to direct vehicle flow, and clear directional signage will be installed along the entire alternate route to guide drivers traveling in both directions. A portion of the detour will operate as a temporary one-way zone, with this layout clearly marked on official project maps distributed alongside the public notice.
Notably, local residents who live in the immediate area surrounding the work site will retain full access to their properties throughout the construction period. All commercial businesses located along the closed stretch of road will also remain open for customers during the work, in a move designed to minimize disruption to local economic activity.
The overnight upgrade is part of the broader government-led All Saints Road Project, an initiative aimed at improving the long-term safety and functionality of this critical transportation corridor. With heavy-duty construction equipment operating in close proximity to the detour route, officials are urging all motorists to comply strictly with posted signage and instructions from on-site staff to avoid accidents and ensure safe passage.
Project stakeholders and regular road users are advised to adjust their travel plans in advance to account for expected minor delays during the work window. Anyone with questions about the detour or the broader project can reach the Project Implementation Management Unit directly by phone at 562-9173 for additional information.
